HAZ STYLES (2) closed last prep with a sixth over 1100m at Gatton on December 20. Worth noting that he opened the last campaign with a minor placing at Warwick over 800m. Takes on a tougher assignment this time but should be hard to stop. IN GREAT SPIRIT (13) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 4.5 lengths when seventh over 1200m at Ipswich. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. ATLAS JOHN (1) returns after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1200m at Canterbury. Placed in a recent trial. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. TARMAC (8) is yet to break through but has been in the money two times including last start when second over 1100m at Gold Coast Poly. Has weighed in at all two tries over this distance. Solid top-three chance again.
